v.
THE STATE OF FLORIDA, APPELLEE

Fla. 3d DCA | 1999-07-14
No. 99-1343
Before NESBITT, SHEVIN and SORONDO, JJ.
740 So. 2d 82 Florida District Court of Appeal, Third District (1999) Caution
Cited by 28 cases


Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.

PER CURIAM.

Pursuant to the state’s proper confession of error, we reverse the order denying defendant’s Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 8.850 motion asserting double jeopardy violations in her convictions. Battery convictions violate double jeopardy when defendant is also charged with and convicted of burglary with a battery, and the battery is the same in both charges. See Crawford v. State, 662 So. 2d 1016 (Fla. 5th DCA 1995); Febles v. State, 654 So. 2d 615 (Fla. 3d DCA 1995); Watson v. State, 646 So. 2d 288 (Fla. 2d DCA 1994); Slater v. State, 543 So. 2d 424 (Fla. 5th DCA 1989); Bradley v. State, 540 So. 2d 185 (Fla. 5th DCA 1989). Defendant’s convictions and sentences on counts 3, 5, and 6 are hereby vacated. This cause is remanded for re-sentencing.

The order denying relief is affirmed on all other grounds.

Affirmed in part; reversed in part; and remanded for resentencing.
